Don't be a wimp.

It's never not worked for me. Besides, everything I have that's really critical (photos, important docs, etc) is backed up in 2+ additional locations (at least one outside the house). TM is just the most convenient way to keep backed up.

Actually, the most recent revisions of their NAS software don't even require you to use the "unsupported volumes" feature, as long as you connect using AFP.
